ILC - Inner Light ConsciousnessPaul Solomon introduces a meditation practice that can of literally change your life. While most techniques produce a state of relaxation, Inner Light Consciousness goes beyond relaxation to tap the hidden powers of mind.

Inner Light Consciousness is not an intellectual undertaking, although you can accumulate endless facts about it. There is nothing wrong with the accumulation of facts. But you don't gain consciousness of the Inner Light by accumulating facts. You don't learn to meditate by buying books about spiritual growth. You don't form a personal relationship with the Inner Teacher even if you read all of the books that you buy.

The relationship with the Inner Light is produced by setting an appointment with your Inner Teacher, the Christ, Kobo Daiche, the Buddha, the gods who live within and about you. You know the Christ by keeping that appointment every day of your life.

An Introduction to Inner light Consciousness(Extract) Inner Light Consciousness is a guided experience in spiritual evolution.

Both the name of the course and its content are attempts to express the teachings of those men so accomplished in the mastery of themselves and the laws of the universe that they were able to accomplish things that other men called miracles.

These men commonly referred to a light within and suggested often to their followers that every man has this light within and that if he becomes conscious of it and lets this light shine that he too can do the works of God that would reveal the presence of God in the universe, letting the man fade from sight.

Invoking the Master WithinI don't know who you are; I don't know what you are. But I do know, or at least I believe, that my mind has a source. Something created my consciousness, and whatever that is must be a greater mind than mine. So whoever you are, whatever you are, I'm talking to you, Source of my mind.

And I assume that you can hear me.

And if you can hear me, then what I¹m saying to you is this. I am going through all of these gardens and making all of this effort because I want to become more aware of you. I want to get to know you better. I am going to be watching for you, looking for you, trying to be sensitive to you.

Every time I come through these gardens, I'm going to try to be sensitive to you, to see you, hear you, feel you, and respond to you. And during the day as I go through the outer world, the world of the senses, I'm going to try to feel and be aware of you in things that people say to me. I'm going to watch for you by watching who you put in my life. And I'm going to notice that you are involved in everything that goes on in my life.

Every time I'm frustrated, every time I lose my temper, every time I'm affected by someone else's communication, I'm going to assume that you have set it up and that you are right there watching. I'm going to assume that when you've set up a situation to make me frustrated that it was done to let me know what frustrates me.

So I'm going to become much more aware of where my buttons are, where my weaknesses are, and by doing that, I'll become more familiar with the fact that you are there.
